Rightwing pundit warns listeners about “hypnosis” adult content that’s turning men trans

Daily Wire host Michael Knowles said on yesterday’s Michael Knowles Show that there is “hypnosis porn” out there that will turn cisgender men into transgender women if they watch it.

Knowles said that he was afraid to even research this kind of porn while preparing his show, lest he himself be hypnotized and turned into a trans woman.

The anti-LGBTQ+ pundit’s character is a manipulative bisexual libertine bent on seducing an innocent student athlete.

“I don’t even want to look into because I have been told — and then I’ve read on different fora — that talk about this phenomenon, that there is a kind of pornography that is, apparently, a driver of the transgender identity that is so perverse,” Knowles said, “that it, it, it constitutes a kind of hypnosis where men will say, ‘I was a normal guy, I lived to be 41, 42, and I was basically normal. But then I fell into this kind of pornography and it essentially melted my brain. I had a nervous breakdown. Now I think that I’m a woman.'”

Knowles then said he would “have to go to confession, potentially my brain gets melted” as potential consequences of watching this hypnosis porn.

Knowles got national attention last month when he said, “Transgenderism must be eradicated,” at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). His comments were widely criticized as supporting genocide.

Several weeks later, an old film from when Knowles was trying — and failing — to get an acting career garnered attention online. In the film, Knowles played a bisexual college student, complete with a sex scene with another male actor.

But now he’s hosting a radio show with guest Genevieve Gluck of the anti-transgender Reduxx Magazine, who explained more about hypnosis porn.

“There are many types of pornography that are, sort of, involved with the transgender movement,” she said. “But hypnosis pornography is a little bit different in that it incorporates your lifestyle.”

“So typically when we think of pornography, we think of it as something that is passive that you’re, sort of, watching. But this type, it asks you to sort of change your behavior, change the way you dress, even to start taking hormones,” Gluck said.

She then said that she has been “mocked” for saying that trans people have been hypnotized into believing that they are trans, but that didn’t stop her from warning the anti-choice right-wing pundit about it.

“And it’s sometimes called ‘sissy hypno,'” she said. “So that’s short for sissification hypnosis pornography. And, you know, I myself, I have personally been somewhat mocked for the suggestion that this is having a powerful impact on men. However, trans activists themselves will say things like it influenced them.”

Gluck said that hypnosis porn contains “repeated mantras, counting down, and probably some of the worst, most regressive stereotypes about women that you can possibly imagine.”

She said that hypnosis porn has a narrator who tells people, “‘You are a dumb bimbo slut, you want to be a girl, you want to be a bimbo,’ you know, just all of that sort of terrible insulting and degrading terminology and language.” Hearing this makes men believe they are women somehow.
